I want to believe that Jones can make the fight really close but to be honest I've not really been impressed by him since the John Ruiz fight.
He lost 3 times (he lost the first) to Antonio Tarver, got KO'd by Johnson and dragged out points wins against mediocre opposition in Prince Badi Ajamu and Anthony Hanshaw. The fight with Trinidad was more of an exhibition and didn't really tell us anything.
In all honesty his comeback hasn't been much more impressive than Evander's string of wins over Jeremy Bates, Vinny Madelone, Fres Oquendo and Lou Saverese, certainly his calibre of opposition hasn't been any higher.
Hanshaw got completely taken apart by Andre Direll and Ajamu had lost to the likes of Otis Grant and drawn with Anthony Bonsante, hardly a world class performer.
I really want to be proved wrong but I think it's entirely possible that we could witness an embarrassing mismatch as Joe will be keen to impress.
Maybe Jones can turn back the clock and produce a vintage display. It's just as likely to me though that he could end up being pulled out by his corner after 6 or 7 rounds...........
